A Tall Duel.
BY SANDY IIIGGINS.
Os all the barbarious, inhuman uns
Christian, and altogether “cussed’
customs which have been handed—
or kicked—down to us from the days
of darkness, wickedness and general
devilment, it seems to me that duel
ing is about the top of the market.—
When men fought with swords,
spears and other cutting and jobbing
instruments, and when they had no
more sense than to be killed at such
foolishness, there might have been
some excuse for fighting. Then,
there was a chance for the best man
to whip t’other fellow, and to be done
with it, but when “villainous saltpe
tre” was invented, things changed,
and men can no longer fight on an
equality, for a rascal or fool is just as
apt to shoot strait as a good man, and
a little more so, because “the ‘devil
protects his own,” somebody says,
and I’ve heard of more good men
being killed by mean ones than the
other way. Resides, we are a Chris
tian people, now, as the last Congress
most effectually proves, and should
set a better example to posterity (who
ever that is) than to be killing each
other in any but a legitimate way.—
The wars and the doctors can kill off
all the surplus population, it we’ll on
ly give them a fair chance. But I’ll
stop moral izing, which I’m not good
at, and go on with my “continua
tion.”
There was a crowd of us assembled
in the bar-room ol a country town,
and, as is usual with men when they
have nothing else to do, vve got to
talking, and each one spread him
self to see which could tell the biggest
tale, but I got beat at it, of course.—
Among the crowd was a half fool
lawyer, who thought lie knew more
than all the rest of us, but who really
didn t know more than half as much
as I did, which is putting his talents
pretty low, you think. Another of
his peculiarities was, that he had no
more spunk than a green frog, but
would talk as big as if he lived on
nothing b.it gun-powder and hornets.
There was also a big Kentuckian, of
the alligator breed, who was real
grit, and as quarrelsome when he
was drinking as a bee martin. The
lawyer had told a huge tale about his
adventures in the Seminole war, which
we all knew was a lie, and then “old
Kaintuck” did “a tale unfold” that so
completely knocked Blackstone’s pins
from under him that he got mad
about it, as any other fool would have
done.
“That’ll do very well, said lie, “if
there was any truth in it.”
“Do you mean to insinuate that I
would tell anything that isn't true
inquired Kentuck, getting wrathy.
“Oh, no,” replied Blaokstone, “but
there, you see, none of us don't believe
that tale.”
“See here, my friend,” roared the
ether, getting up in a hurry, no man
ever gives me the lie without getting
whipped, so I’m going to wallop you
till your mother wouldn’t own you.”
So saying, he made a drive that would
have demolished the lawyer, but that
gentleman made a hasty retreat
behind the counter, while the rest of
us interfered. Finding there was no
chance to get his hands on him, Ken
tuck opened his mouth-piece on him
in a style that I’ve never heard equal
led. He cursed him from head to
foot, and back again, till there wasn’t
a spot on him as big as a postage
stamp that hadn’t received its proper
share of the blessing. All this ti ne
the lawyer was undergoing a shaking
process that threatened to dispose ot
all his teeth, and eventually, ho step
ped out and made himself scarce.—
Then I took Tom Beasely out, and
said I:
“Tom, there’s a chance for some
good sport.”
“Thar’s no sport in old Kaintuck
replied Tom. Jest listen how lie
roars! A bull ain’t a circumstance.”
“That’s just the thing, “Ken
tuck is mad through and through
and would fight a locomotive. Now
you know the lawyer is always
bragging about his spunk, so we’ll
persuade him to challenge Kentuck,
and have the guns or pistols loaded
with powder only, and there’ll be a
rich time.”
“Yes,” assented Tom “we might
have a rich time, if it could only be
done, but don’t von know what a cow
ard Jack is ? lie wouldn’t challenge
a tarrapin.”
“I’ll bet a quart of red-eye I can
persuade him to send the challenge
before bed-time,” said I, and“, as you
and Kentuck are pretty thick, you can
act as his second, and we’ll fix it all
right.”
After some more palaver, Tom
agreed, and went hack to the baiioom
while I hunted up lawyer Jack. I
found him in his little office, still
scared half to death.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1873.
‘‘Jack,’ said I, “it Iliad been you,
I should have walked into that gen
tie man, boots and all.”
“Oh, hang it, Sandny !” said he, “I
wouldn’t fight such a chap, unless I’d
had my pistol.”
“If you’d had your pistol,” said I,
“you’d not had the chance to shoot
him, unless you took him on the wing.
He’s the worst coward about bul
lets I ever saw. He was shot once,
and says lie’ll never give a man a
chaise to make a target of his carcass
again.”
“Is that so, Sandy?” he inquired
brightening up. “If I had only
known it I might have settled
him.”
“It ain’t too late, yet,” said I
“He’s been cutting up entirely too
high, anyhow, and I want some
body to make him drop his feath- !
ers. You just challenge him to
fight a duel, and that’ll be the last
of his ripping and snorting in these
diggius.”
“By George!” replied he, “if I
wasn’t afraid he’d shoot me I’d do
it.”
“Never fear,” said I, “ I’ll go bail
that yo.u never hear a bullet whistle
from him, and stand by you.”
A little more argument, and a stiff
drink of brandy, brought him to the
point, and the challenge was written
in due form, with which I proceeded
back to the bar-room. I found Ken -
tuck, with one or two others, talking
over the affair and he was in a boil in £r
O
hot condition. When he had glanced
over the paper I handed him, he broke
out:
“Yes, by the Eternal Jupiter! Tell
him I’ll fight him anytime, anywhere,
and with anything, from a speying
needle to a battery of artillery ! Torn,
will you be so good as to settle the ar
rangements for me!”
To this Tom agreed, and ho and
I quickly settled the preliminaries.—
They were to fight next morning at
sun-rise, with rifles at thirty paces,
at the quarter race track, near the
river.
“Good!” said Kentuck, when we
informed him of the terms. “I can
cut out a crow’s tongue and never j
touch his bill, if ho opened his mouth
to crow !”
With this comfortable informa
tion I posted back to Jack, who
was still wide awake, but “duly so
ber.”
“Well, what did he say ? inquir
ed he, “and what is he going to
do V!
“He says he’s going to fight,” I res
plied, ‘but I don’t believea word of it,
lor he’s the worst scared fellow you
ever saw.”
“What sort of weapons did he
choose ?” he asked.
“Rifles, at thirty yards,’ I re
plied.
“Why, God Almighty, Sandy !”
said he, ‘what did you do that for?
lie’ll bore a hole through me the first
pop!”
‘Narry hole,’ said I. lie can’t hit
a bed quilt thirty yards, and choose
them because he heard me tell Tom
that you could kill a bumble-bee with
a pistol • every fire.
Well, said he, with a long sigh, and
a face as long as the twenty-second
day of June, he’ll kill me, sure, and
that’ll nearly ruin me.
Don’t you be uneasy, said I, lie’ll
not be in this country in the morning.
If he does, he’ll not stand to be shot
at, and couldn’t hit you in a week.
All you’ve got to do, if he comes to
law, is to bla e away like you was
shooting a squirrel, and you’ll fetch
him.
After a good-deal more ot such talk ;
I got him somewhat pacified, but I i
could see plainly that he’d rather lose i
a good fee than take chances at the ;
Kentuckian. Telling him to be up
in good lime next morning, I left him
to his reflections, which were not j
very pleasant, I imagine. Next morn
ing I called at his office about day
break, and found him up, for he hadn’t
been down all night, and looxed as
though he hadn’t slept any in a month.
He was in no mood for conversation,
so I provided myself with a bottle ol
brandy, saw that his rifle was in good
order, and we set out for the races
track, where we arrived before sunrise,
and found no one there.
Well, old Kentuck don’t seem in
much of a hurry to be shot. I expect j
lie’s out of the State by this time, said
I.
We might as well go back, hadn’t
we? inquired Jack.
What! and have no fun? I asked.
Fun be hanged! he replied. I’m
no man for foolishness, no how. Do
you believe in dreams, Sandy?
None to hurt, I answered.
I do, said he, and I dreamed last
night that I saw my grandmother.—
I was nodding in my chair, and she
came up and tried to wake me, and I
believe I’m coiim to be shot to death
if that fellow comes. I’ve a great no
tion to go back home, for the sun is
just rising, and he wont be here.
Yes, yonder they are ! replied I. as
the Kentuckian, Tom Beasely, and
half a dozen others caine up. We’ll
have our sport, yet.
Don’t talk that way. Sandy, said
he, his face getting longer and whiter,
while his teeth rattled. I was almost
sorry for the fool, but didn’t let on.
Let’s us measure oft’ the ground,
Sandy, said Tom.
Yes, and be in a hurry, chimed in
Kentuck. I want to pink him and
get back to breakfast!
Sandy, whispered Jack, “don’t you
think it would be a-good idea to put
one of us at each end of the track, and
let us advance and fire?
Thunder ! said I, you’d fire away
all your ammunition before you got in
two hundred yards of each other.—
You mustn’t show the white feather
at this stage of the game.
It don’t make no difference, said he.
I’d rather be called a coward than a
corpse, anyhow, and if you hadn’t told
me he was a coward I’d never sent that
infernal challenge. If he does kill me
I’ll haunt you!
All right—l’m not afraid of spirits,’
said I. “Go on, Tom, and step it off,’
Thereupon Tom placed a peg in
the ground, and stepped very delib
erately down the track, while Jack
watched the proceedings with un
bounded interest
Look at the fool! muttered he.—
lie don’t step ten inches at a time !
Here’s the place, Sandy, said Tom.
Take your places, gentlemen, and
I’ll give the word.
Hadn’t we better wait awhile. Sans
dy? inquired Jack, as the Kentuckian
advanced to his post.
No—time’s up, said I. Take a pull
at the bottle to steady y our nerves.
lie grabbed the bottle and drank
about Lalf a pint and handed it back
to me, saying:
“I’m a gone goose, Sandy, certain.
You’ll find my will in my' desk.—
Tell Molly I died like a man.
Pshaw ! said I, as I helped him to
his post. Take good aim and you’ll
bring him the first fire.
He managed to bring bis rifle to a
present—Tom commenced ‘One—
when bang ! Jack’s rifle went off, firs
ing straight up in the air, while the
Kentuckian took deliberate aim and
blazed away, and down tumbled Jack.
See where I’m hurt Sandy, said lie
faintly.
Get up, said I, you're not touched.
Load up again, said the Kentuck
ian. I'll pop him next time !
Do you hear that ! said Jack.—
There Mas a double handful ot slims
in that cussed gun of his’n. Howl
wish I hadn’t come here !
Never mind, said I, as I loaded his
rifle, you’ll have better luck next time.
Here’s your piece.
I’ll hit him right between the eyes
this time, said the Kentuckian, as
Jack staggered to his feet.
I'll bebanged if I stand this said
Jack, and throwing down his gun lie
put off down the track like a yearling
deer, jumping about ten feet at a
bound.
Come back and be shot yelled the
Kentuckian, raising his gun and bang
ing away. This seemed to add wings
to his feet, and the way he flew down
that track was amusing. The Ken
tuckian gave a whoop that would have
shamed a Mohawk, and started after
Jack, but he might as well have been
whistling to a March storm. Jack
jumped higher and farther every time
he heard that awful voice behind him,
which he seemed to consider the voice
of doom. lie run as never man run
before, and the Kentuckian soon gave
up the chase and came back blowing
like a porpoise, and swearing he’d
have him yet. When we got him
cooled down a little, we went back to
town, for I was anxious to know what
had become of Jack. I found that
he’d already got back to his office,
where he was lying on the floor, breath
ing like a tired cur.
Where is he, Sandy? he inquired,
as soon as he could speak.
Gone, said I, and glad to be out of
it.
Do you think I came any way's
near hitting him? he asked.
Yes, said I, solemnly, he says your
ball went by his head like a grape
shot.
He’d like to been the death of me,
he continued ; I tell you the way his
bullets sung was distressing !
I could hardly help laughing at the
blockhead, and had a good notion to
tell him all about it, but didn’t. As
soon as he got over his fright he com
menced bragging about his spunk till
I got disgusted,and left him. He'd bet*
ter say as little about it as possible,
for dueling was against the law, and
we might all get our feet iuto it. But
we had a harder time with “Old Ken
tuck,” who was the most unreasonable
man 1 ever saw. Eventually', how*
evei, we pursuaded him to let the
matter drop, and a few days after
wards he left for home, never having
seen Jack since the row. As for the
latter, lie couldn’t keep his mouth
shut, till finally somebody told the af
fair, and threatened to have it put in
to the papers. This finished him.—
“ The duel” M as in everybody’s mouth,
and they' carried him so high about it
that he actually left the country.
T fiat was the only duel I was ever
interested in, or ever expect to be, as
long as I keep what little sense I’ve
got now.
The Habit of Reading.
“ I have no time to read,” is the
common complaint, and especially of
women, whose occupations are such as
to prevent continuous book perusal.
They 7 *seem to think, because they can
not devote as much attention to books
as they are compelled to devote to
their avocations that they cannot read
anything. But this is a great mistake-
It isn’t the books M'e finish at a sitting
which always do us the most good.—
Those we devour in the odd moments,
half a dozen pages at a time, of
ten give us more satisfaction, and* are
more thoroughly digested than those
we make a particular effort to read.
The men M'ho have made their mark
in the world have generally been the
men who have in boyhood formed the
habit of reading at every available
moment, whether for five minutes or
five hours.
It is the habit of reading rather
than the time at our command that
helps us on the road to learning.—
Many of the most cultivated persons,
M’hose names have been famous as
students, have given only two or three
hours a day to their books. If avg
make use of spare minutes in the
midst of our work, and read a little,
“if but a page or a paragraph, we
shall find our brains quickened and
our toil lightened by just so much in
creased satisfaction as the books gives
us. Nothing helps along the mo
notonous daily round so much as
fresh striking thoughts, to be consul
ered while our hands are busy. A
new idea from anew volume is like
oil which reduces the friction of the
machinery of life. What M r e remem
ber from brief glimpses into books
often serve as a stimulous to action,
and becomes one of the most precious
deposits in the treasury' of our recol
lection. All knoM'ledge is made up
of small parts, which would seem in
significant in themselves, but which,
taken together, are valuable weapons
for the mind and substantial armor
for the soul. “ Read anything contin
uously',” says Dr. Johnson, “ and you
Mill be learned.” The old minutes
m Inch m g are inclined to waste, if
carefully availed of for instruction,
will, in the long run, make golden
hours and golden day s that wc shall
be ever thankful for,—“ Home and
Society;” Scribners for August.
JYi>“ A minister going to dine after
service with one of his deacons, came
upon the hired boy of the host dig
ging at a M'oodchuch‘3 hole. The
parson M’ho M T as unknown to the boy
checked his rein and accosted him
with :
‘ ’Well, my son, m hat are you doing
there?
‘ Digging out a. woodchuck, sir,‘
said the boy r .
‘ Why, but don't you know that is
very wicked ? and besides you \\'on‘t

‘ Git liim,‘ said the boy: ‘thunder!
I've got to git ‘im ! The minister's

Sound Logic.— Old Joe was a
quiet old man but somewhat too fond
of the bottle. When in cups his
ideas tended toward theological mat
ters, which lie always avoided in [his
sober moments. It was Saturday
afternoon (Connecticut baking day,)
and his good wife wanted some wood
for the oven.
“ Joe, I do M’ish you would go and
split some wood ; here it is nearly
2 o’clock, and the fire isn't made.’
Joe went to execute his commission
and fearing his physical condition w as
weak marched to the neighboring tav
ern to fortify himself therein. lie re
turned home utterly oblivious to all
things save his pet theories. Seating
himself on a chair he said :
“I say, hie (hie) Jane, do (hie) y'ou
think (hie) the Lord (hie) means to
burn us all up (hie) iu fire ? ’
His venerable spouse, being ex*
ceedingly irrate, did not answer. —
Again he repeated the question. Still
an ominious silence.
‘ Wife do you think the Lord in
tends to burn us all up iu fire ever
lasting ? ’
‘ No! ’ said the now thoroughly
aroused housewife ; ‘no you old fool,
if he waits on you to split the u'ood !’
tAf* A bad marriage is like au
electric machine ; it makes you dance
and you can't let go.
Golden Words.
The habit of looking on the bright
side is invaluable. Men and women
who are evermore reckoning up what
they want rather than what they have
| —counting the difficulties in the way
instead of contriving means to over
come them—are almost certain to live
:on corn bread, fat pork, and salt fish,
and sink to unmarked graves. The
world is sure to smile upon a man
who seems to be successful; but let
him go about with a erest fallen air,
and the very dogs in the street will
set upon him. We must all have los
ses. Late frosts null nip the fruit, the
bad banks will break, investments
prove worthless, valuable horses die,
china races will break; but all these
calamities do not come together.—
The wise course to pursue, when one
plan fads, is to form another; when
one prop is knocked from under us,
to fill its place with a substitute, and
even more count what is left, rather
than what is taken. When the li
nal reckoning is made, it appears that
M r e have not lost the consciousness of
intentional rectitude; if we have kept
charity towards all men; if, by the va
rious discipline of life, we have been
freed from follies and confirmed in
virtue, whatever M'e have lost, the
great balance sheet will be in our fa
vor.
Too Good to be Lost.
We have never seen the following
in print though it may have gone the
rounds of the press, but it will bear
telling again: During the day of re
construction the radicals had an im
mense gathering of their clans at some
point, in the down trodden State of
Alabama, at which Ex-Gov. Smith
and other vagabonds who were “on
the make” through the means of get
ting negro votes to help them into
office, M ere very conspicuous. A lot
of unregenerated rebels went down to
see the show, and in the crowd was a
Irishman, who had done gallant ser
vice in the Confederate army. The
enthusiasm u’as very great, and one
old colored orator jumped to his feet
and broke out with, “I’se do happiest
man in de world, and feels like I
would like to be de Mer’can eagle
wrapped in de old flag and sailing
over de country’ daring the goodness
of de ‘publican party.” The hurrah
ing and yelling was immense and
when it partially subsided, the Irish
man bawled at the top of his voice,
“ Yaas and yes would be shot for a
dom buzzard with a stolen cow skin
in yez mouth before yez got a bun
dred yards.” The effect was magi
cal, and if a shower of icebasrs had fal
len, it M ould not have so completely
cooled the ardor of the crowd, and the
meeting adjourned in short order.—

What the World is Doing.— Up
on a close investigation into the busi
ness of men, m*c have come to the con
elusion that some are preparing to live
well while they do live, some are drift
ing along with the current, heedless
of where they will land, some are seek
ing pleasure, some are throwing up
“heads and tails ’’ for their lots, some
are seeking wealth, some honor, and
some happiness, and someone thing
and some another. The great ques
lion is, who will be the best prepared
to die, and who will be the happiest
after death ?
Negro Killed.— Saturday evening
last about dark, Crees Combs (white)
got into a difficulty with Manse New
ell, (col.) and cut him in the side, of
which wound Newell died in a few
minutes. The instrument used was
a common pocket knife, the blade of
which penetrated his heart producing
almost instant death. Combs was ar
raigned on Monday before a Magis
trate’s Court, but his counsel waiving
the usual preliminary trial before the
Mag istrate, the accused M'as commit
ted under warrant to stand his trial
before the Superior Court.
As the case will undergo a rigid in
vestigation before that tribunal, M'e
deem it unnecessary to comment upon
the guilt or innocence of the parties
concerned. We will say, however, in
conclusion, that the foul fiend, Alco
hoi, had everything to do M'ith this la
meutable affair. — Net man Herald.
